Thanks Sandeep! will try this soon. "Events are captured in element
and value". I dont quite understand that. Can you please explain? I
dont know much of JS and am quite new to ROR too.
Ideally, I want a functionality like Gmail's To address bar. It should
have autocomplete, find_or_create_by_email and an extra feature of a
live search after_update_element which updates a div with more info
about the contact using the email/name entered in the field. If the
entered string does not match any results, it should validate for an
email address and create a contact using that info alone. I know its a
tall ask :).. but things are falling into place and I just thought it
would be helpful to me if you had any tips since you seem to have done
something similar to an extent. Thanks again!
